Penn's View Hotel Philadelphia
"We have stayed here many times because our son and his wife live close by in Philly. Our room this time was louder at night due to the proximity to the road. We live in the country, so we are used to it being very quiet at night. Antonio was very helpful and got a new room for us which was much quieter. ..."

Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City
"The hotel should validate parking. For a one night stay in Philly, we expect a high rate but adding parking to that expense seems ridiculous."
